Look, I need to clear this up. BTS did NOT disband. They signed contracts until 2034. Yes, they’re doing military service and solo projects, but that doesn’t mean they’re breaking up.
BTS just finished service and are already planning their comeback. Stop panicking – there’s a big difference between taking a break and disbanding. BTS isn’t going anywhere.!
I’m going to walk you through everything that’s been happening and why all these scary rumors started in the first place.
Has BTS Disbanded? Here’s the Real Answer
Listen, we get why you’re worried. When your favorite group suddenly stops doing group activities and each member starts releasing solo music, it feels like the end of the world. But breathe with me for a second.
BTS is not disbanded. What happened was they had to do their military service – something every Korean man has to do. It’s not optional, it’s not a choice, it’s just part of life there.
So instead of having some members serve while others waited around, they decided to use this time wisely and explore their individual artistry.
And guess what? It worked out beautifully. We got incredible solo albums from each member, and now they’re all back, more experienced and ready to create magic together again.
Here’s where everyone stands with their military service:
| Member | Enlistment Date | Discharge Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jin | Dec 13, 2022 | Jun 12, 2024 | Discharged |
| J-Hope | Apr 2023 | Oct 17, 2024 | Discharged |
| Suga | Sept 22, 2023 | Jun 21, 2025 | Discharged |
| RM | Dec 11, 2023 | Jun 10, 2025 | Discharged |
| V | Dec 11, 2023 | Jun 10, 2025 | Discharged |
| Jimin | Dec 12, 2023 | Jun 11, 2025 | Discharged |
| Jungkook | Dec 12, 2023 | Jun 11, 2025 | Discharged |
See that? They’re all back. The gang’s all here.
I was watching their Weverse live on July 1st (you know, the one where we all collectively lost our minds), and they were talking about new music like it was the most natural thing in the world. Because for them, it is. They never stopped being BTS – they just took a necessary break.
Did BTS Renew Their Contract Till 2034?
Oh my gosh, YES! And can we talk about how huge this is?
In September 2023, all seven members – ALL SEVEN – renewed their contracts with HYBE until 2034. Do you know how rare this is in K-pop? Most groups can barely keep everyone together for their first renewal, and here’s BTS doing their second renewal with everyone on board.
I remember when this news dropped. ARMY was celebrating everywhere because we knew what it meant. You don’t commit to another decade together if you’re planning to call it quits. This wasn’t just a business decision – this was them saying “We’re not done with this story yet.”
The timing was perfect too. Right after all the worry from their 2022 announcement, they showed us exactly where their hearts were. Individual growth? Yes. But always with the intention of coming back stronger as BTS.
What Is The BTS Disband Date – 2025, 2027 Or 2034?
Let me break down what’s really happening with these years:
BTS 2025: This is comeback year, not goodbye year! All the members are back from military service, and they’re already working on new music. HYBE announced a spring 2026 album, which means 2025 is going to be all about preparation and probably some amazing surprises for us.
BTS 2027: Some people think groups automatically disband after 10 years of major success. That’s… not how it works. Plenty of groups thrive well past their first decade. BTS hitting 10 years since their global breakthrough just means they’re seasoned pros now.
BTS 2034: This is when their current contracts end. Could they decide not to renew again? Maybe. But that’s 10 years away! A lot can happen, and based on how committed they were to this renewal, I’m not worried.
Here’s my advice: stop looking for an expiration date. BTS will tell us when they’re ready to move on, and until then, we should just enjoy the ride.
Why Did People Think BTS Disbanded?
The whole thing was one giant misunderstanding that spiraled out of control. It started with their 2022 Festa dinner. You know, the annual celebration where they usually just eat good food and share stories with us?
Well, that year, they dropped some pretty big news. They said they needed to take a break from group activities to focus on growing as individual artists.
Now, if you understood the context – that they were about to start military enlistments anyway – this made perfect sense. But some media outlets? They ran with headlines like “BTS announces hiatus” and “BTS taking indefinite break,” which sounds way more dramatic than what actually happened.
Then the solo projects started rolling in, and people began panicking:
| Member | Solo Album/Project | Year Released | Key Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| J-Hope | Jack in the Box | 2022 | Made history at Lollapalooza |
| RM | Indigo | 2022 | Showed his artistic soul |
| Jimin | FACE | 2023 | His vulnerability was beautiful |
| Suga | D-DAY | 2023 | That world tour was insane |
| Jungkook | GOLDEN | 2023 | Proved he’s a superstar |
| V | Layover | 2023 | Those jazz influences though |
| Jin | The Astronaut | 2022 | Coldplay collab was chef’s kiss |
Every time another member released solo work, the panic grew. “Are they leaving BTS behind?” “Do they even want to be in the group anymore?”
But here’s what I wish everyone had realized: they were giving us gifts. Instead of disappearing completely during military service, they made sure we had amazing music to hold onto. Each album was like a love letter, keeping us connected while they couldn’t be together as seven.
The media didn’t help. Headlines kept focusing on the solo aspect without mentioning that this was always temporary. It was frustrating watching the narrative get twisted when the members themselves kept talking about coming back together.
What Will Happen To BTS In 2025 And Beyond?
I’m going to be real with you – I’m excited. Like, really excited.
By mid-2025, we’re going to see BTS as a group again, but they’re going to be different. Better, even. Each member spent this time exploring parts of themselves they couldn’t access while constantly working as seven.
Jin discovered his acting chops, Jungkook proved he could carry a global solo career, and Jimin showed us his most vulnerable side. They’re coming back with all these new experiences, new perspectives, and honestly?
The next era is going to be incredible. HYBE announced a spring 2026 album, and they wouldn’t reveal something that huge unless they knew it would be amazing.
Plus, there’s talk of touring again, which means we might actually get to see them perform all their solo hits AND new group music together. The next nine years until 2034 are going to be wild, and I’m here for every minute of it.

FAQs
Nope! That 10-year thing is just a rumor. Their contracts go until 2034, and anniversary years are for celebrating, not endings.
June 13th is their debut anniversary – their birthday as a group! It’s a celebration day, definitely not a countdown to disbandment.
In 2023, they renewed their contract until 2034 and aren’t showing signs of stopping. We’ll probably still be streaming their music and crying over their performances.
They literally talked about new music in their July 2025 live session, and there’s an album planned for spring 2026.
About 18-24 months each, and the good news is everyone’s already done! No more waiting, no more countdown timers, just BTS being back together.
